Findings from Dunarea de Jos University of Galati Update Understanding of Antioxidants (Determination of Antioxidant Capacity of Glutathione Encapsulated In Alginate Microcapsules Using Spectrophotometric and Electrochemical Methods).

A study conducted at Dunarea de Jos University of Galati in Romania focused on the determination of the antioxidant capacity of glutathione encapsulated in alginate microcapsules using spectrophotometric and electrochemical methods. The research highlighted the stability of the microcapsules in digestive fluids, increased encapsulation efficiency with higher glutathione concentrations, and efficient release of glutathione in simulated intestinal fluid. The study concluded that sodium alginate and glutathione microcapsules have the potential to be developed as efficient delivery systems for pharmaceutical compounds. [Extracted from the article]
